Summary "Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great - Volume 04" by Elbert Hubbard is a collection of biographical essays written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the lives of eminent painters, exploring their contributions to art and the personal experiences that shaped them. The book delves into the stories behind iconic figures like Michelangelo and Rembrandt, offering insights into their creative processes and the eras they lived in. At the start of the book, the focus is on Michelangelo, detailing his early life, struggles, and eventual rise to prominence as one of the greatest artists of the Renaissance. The narrative captures his passion for sculpture and painting, alongside anecdotes of his interactions with contemporaries, such as Leonardo da Vinci.
